Can’t wait to be in an open office where everyone is talking to their computers in order to control them at the same time. What could possibly go wrong?

This is the future of Windows. Microsoft wants to rewrite Windows to turn computers into AI PCs that you talk to. It's now bringing AI features to all Windows 11 PCs today, in a bid to convince you to talk to your PC and let AI control it. Full details 👇 www.theverge.com/news/799768/...

i'm not even being remotely hyperbolic. cancer does not give one single fuck about the political claims of the gender critical set about our bodies. it is a biological fact that trans women on HRT have breast tissue and are at risk for breast cancer.

Jenn @jennralize.bsky.social · 1d

Just got a call from a lovely but very nervous Dr, who advised I wouldn't be routinely screened for breast cancer because I'm not indicated as being "biologically female" on the central NHS database and my biology wouldn't indicate I'm at risk.

My records have been altered, which is upsetting.

the president using the office to punish americans that didnt vote for him should really be one of the biggest scandals in americas history

Don Moynihan @donmoyn.bsky.social · 1d

Trump is upfront in saying he will use the shutdown to punish Democrats, and here are the receipts. About $27.2 billion cut from Dem districts compared to about $0.7 billion in GOP districts.
We all complain about the media, but need this type of in-depth journalism.

The Trump administration has frozen or canceled nearly $28 billion primarily located in Democratic-led districts, according to an analysis by The New York Times.

queer spaces are so overly racially biased it makes me upset every time.

the lack of boosting black positivity or just interacting with black art is upsetting. black art, people, and characters aren't viewed in the same desirability as white characters.

This is why “they’d never say that about Black people” or “can you imagine if that happened to a Black person” grates me on a personal level because it’s totally disingenuous. The moment undeniable racism happens, it’s “everyone knows” as a dismissal. It’s clown shit.

This is the result of a lot of people pretending racism is one of the greatest taboos in our culture while failing to address racism substantively. People are appalled by the idea of being called racist while being totally committed to upholding racism throughout society.

karl rove knausgård @uhactually.bsky.social · 1d

Every time a Democrat gets caught on tape saying like “Some Trump voters are racist” we have a national scandal and JD Vance demands an entirely new kind of apology and meanwhile every Republican group chat is like “Good morning fellow SS members. Who’s ready to respect Hitler today?”

It's somehow both wildly underreported and just out in the open that the vice president is either a neo-Nazi or, at a bare minimum, a neo-Nazi fellow traveler.

Radley Balko @radleybalko.bsky.social · 1d

Fascinating. Politico notes that when notified of the texts, many state-level Republicans fired or condemned these cretins. Now Vance emerges to excuse the racism, and calls the reaction to it "pearl clutching."

He seems determined to purge the party of its last enclaves of decency.

saw a post saying that they don’t care about sexual behavior between consenting adults but the fact is that LLMs aren’t people and can’t “consent” because they are incapable of parsing meaning. this is also going to make the existing problem of lonely people addicted to LLMs much, much worse
